Xylitol prevents cavities with a low blood-sugar impact
Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar. It helps prevent cavities and promote a healthy oral biome. Xylitol is available in mint and chewing gum. It is good to be taken after snacks and meals to counteract the negative impacts of sugars. It may be especially important for those eating carb-based diets and the elderly. It is also conducive to diabetic diets.
Details
Xylitol starves harmful bacteria in the mouth by competing with simple sugars. Xylitol is structured similarly enough to simple sugars to be absorbed into bacteria cells. But, it cannot be broken down and used for energy. This fights cavity-causing bacteria as well as others. Beneficial oral microbes are generally unaffected and able to thrive in these conditions.This leads to an overall improvement in the oral biome and helps develop a healthy biofilm which protects teeth. Using xylitol in combination with low-carb diets dominated by protein or fat, cavities may be entirely avoided. Xylitol is also beneficial for the gut since it promotes butyrate-producing bacteria.
